#pulse

The company I complain about giving me zero psychological safety rolled out their bi-annual update to pulse, as they have for the last decade. Also this is my weekly reminder that my fraud director had a full calendar today and that also means we’re getting laid off. Tell me your thoughts now a destroy the usefulness of this community some more!

Has everyone reviewed it yet and the changes

Who all got the survey? I’m sure they’re not going to like what a lot of us have to say.

Just received an email saying i've been selected to take the Pulse Survey.

HARD PASS

Audit is in either a bad place morally or the talent level is in the gutter.

Audit is complicit in the mess that will be uncovered in 3 years.

Do they have a pulse? Anyone alive out there?

It’s not that hard. Huge mess in Corp Risk.

Can’t wait to see the hypocratic face of VZ by sending the pulse review in a few months?!?!?

All impacted and gone as well as impacted mentally from this BS and are staying employed should go to Glassdoor and absolutely annihilate the Verizon review of both the company and Dan the Hatchet man! Let our real pulse survey be heard!

Just remember the Pulse Survey is not Anonymous and will be used against you!

Vestberg was CEO at VZ for 7 years. Coincidentally the same amount of years he was CEO at Ericsson. Two companies left in a wake of mismanagement. The difference? The VZ BoD had a resume to review. Despite his failures in Europe the VZ BoD made him their CEO. History repeating itself was, sorry to say, an almost foregone conclusion. Now the BoD handed gas and torch to Schulman. He’ll cut off the legs to save the body. Then the BoD will “find” the next version of Vestberg. They can’t help themselves from making poor choices. Vestberg will likely have $20M follow him out the door whilst 15k are shown the door. Whomever takes over “Verizon - The Rehab Edition” has choices. Continue on with segmentation and compartmentalization driving the Company further into the ground, or, perhaps, bring things back under the roof. No more HRBP from outside sources running the Company. No more useless Pulse Surveys. But alas, the names will change and the downward spiral is likely to continue. If there was a time for the Shareholders to remove an entire Board. It’s now or in the very near future. Pipe dream of course. Good luck to all who are leaving. Find a Company run by intelligent people who actually know the business they run.

Please pulse the 15,000 managers being let go so we can really know how they feel lol. Brown noising only gets you so far ill stick with the union.

Have heard of a crash in Pulse participation… anybody seen this?

Did anyone notice a difference in the Q4 pulse survey? It looks like the question are geared toward leadership. The last comment box directly asks what action has been taken since the last survey. Maybe the new CEO is looking to make some changes for all levels of leadership? I’ve been with Verizon 10 years and every rif they only target below ADs. Everyone AD and above are always safe. It’s time to start snipping from the top and not the people who actually do the work.

Who filled out the Pulse survey? And more importantly - were you brutally honest?

The world is more unpredictable and dangerous than ever, yet corporate America is dragging people back into offices. At a time when safety, flexibility, and family should come first, pulling people farther from home makes no sense. If something were to happen, being close to loved ones and communities matters most. Forcing rigid return-to-office policies isn’t leadership — it’s reckless. Real leadership means empathy, foresight, and moving forward, not clinging to broken traditions. When does the next pulse survey go out?

Boycott this useless survey like 35% of the employees did in March. Let’s beat that number!
Don’t think your opinion matters these days!
Don’t take it.
